South Texas Shooters (Photography That Is!)

Sundays are a day of rest and reflection, I’ve always been told this from my earliest memories.

In my youth I would go to church with grandma, as I got older I rebelled as most of the kids that I grew up with did, so my time at church became limited then non existent. Never did I stray from God and Jesus, but the act of going to church was not in the picture for me. When I served in the Army I would attend Field Services, under a tree, the back of a truck, the hood of Jeep, wherever the Chaplin could set up for the service. During one service some 30 plus years ago something happened at a Field Service that has stayed with me always. While we where at worship someone said “This don’t feel like church! At this point The Chaplin remarked Jesus doesn’t care where you worship, under a tree, in the biggest cathedral or in the smallest church or right here under a tree, He does care that you worship and believe in Him and His Father!

I was struck by those words that day so many years ago! I am no where near perfect and will never attain perfection as a person, I can attain being the best person I can be on this day and the next. There will be times when I fall, fail and forget, but I am always thankful for each day, its beginning and its end. I say to the Father thank you at the beginning and end of the day, I ask The Father and Son to forgive me for my sins and I add, please forgive me for the next time. I try not to sin each day, but I am human, I care, I believe, I give a damm!! When I care about you or about something I care with all the heart, soul and mind! When I don’t care I still care just not at 100%, does this confuse you, it sure does me!! I guess this is a oxymoron in a way, but it is my real deal!

As the title says it’s Sentimental Sunday. I’m getting sentimental as each day ages me once again. I see things on the news, I see things in social media, I hear things that people say to one another and I form a tear, because I care that someone left a kid in a car or a dog in a car, or placed a bag of kittens in the trash, or I hear of someone that is hurting from illness or injury and there is no response that I have at the moment. I get sentimental when I see someone succeed in life, I get sentimental when someone remembers someone! I get sentimental when an animal smiles, wags their tail, brushes against my leg, I get sentimental when someone does something good for someone else! I get sentimental when I see, read or hear about someone I care for get something good and deserving of all their efforts!!!

So folks I’m just getting sentimental so don’t be surprised if you see me share an image about something that happened in LIFE! It is meant to bring out the smile in you Courtesy of me and my lens!! I’m still gonna make some shake their head in wonder as to the meaning, don’t do a me and overthink it, go with it and enjoy!! I’m doing my best not to overthink and just to enjoy LIFE!!

Do not be alarmed that I don’t visit a church on a regular basis, I do believe in The Father and Son and the teachings They share with us!! I do visit the Fathers House to speak with Him in His Home, like One on One!!!

Remember that I always care about those that have touched my heart deeply, family and friends who are always in my heart!!!!
